Abstract:The vulcanized residue of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBRr) is a raw material with potential for re-addition in the production chain, adding value and reducing environmental impact. Polypropylene (PP) compounds with SBRr from the footwear industry were produced, adding styrene-(ethylene-butylene)-styrene (SEBS) as compatibilizer, with 20% and 30% of styrene (St.). Addition of 30% SBRr did not compromise the processability, since the torque and flow index increased slightly. Significant increases in impact stre… Show more
